Ingredients
- Any chicken cut works - breast, tenders, legs, or thighs. Make sure these are boneless, skinless.
- Seasonings - just add your favorite seasonings, this dish works well with just a little salt and pepper too. Similar to my skillet chicken with mixed vegetables, add some pesto or salsa when serving.
- Veggies - more color the merrier! Use a variety of colorful veggies and cut them thicker. You can also add in fresh or frozen broccoli.

Tips
- Don’t cut the zucchini and onion too thin. All the veggies here are cut larger than usual and should still be crisp by the end of cooking.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done when a kitchen thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the chicken into equal bite-size pieces so it will cook evenly.
- If there is a shorter phrase just bold something small in the middle of the sentence just for the purposes of easier reading for people.
Oil
The oil in this recipe ensures crispy edges and moist chicken, while helping seasoning adhere. Use olive oil spray for a lighter option.
